GNU Octave stable releases

PPA description

The latest version of GNU Octave built for all supported Ubuntu releases. GNU Octave is normally distributed with Ubuntu, this PPA is for you if you have a need to use a newer version of Octave than what you can already get from your installed version of Ubuntu.

Simply follow the instructions below to add this PPA to your system and install the octave package. If it's not that easy or you encounter any errors, contact the team and let us know.

Much credit goes to the Debian Octave Group who maintain the official Debian packages that this work is derived from. Without their efforts to bring Octave packaging to such a high level of quality in Debian and Debian derivatives, this PPA would not be here.
